At the November 2008 meeting, a decision was made to change the name of the Association to the "Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches", to reflect, more clearly, that the Association is inclusive of ALL Neighbourhood Watches throughout Haringey. This is not to be confused with the "Haringey Borough Association of Neighbourhood Watches" http://www.haringeynhw.org.uk/.
At the November 2008 meeting, it was also agreed that the venue for these meetings should be alternated between the Civic Centre, Wood Green and the Royal British Legion Hall, Crouch End, to make them more accessible to a greater number of co-ordinators.
This is is an independent organisation run by volunteers from the local community.
Meetings.
Meetings are quarterly, they are usually held at 7.30pm alternately at the Civic Centre, Wood Green and the Royal British Legion Hall, Elder Avenue, Crouch End, N8 9TH.
Please note, the meeting day has been changed from a Wednesday to a Tuesday.
The invitation to these meeting is extended to all Haringey Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators and members.
Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches Quarterly Meeting
Wednesday 8th September.
Please see Agenda
Minutes for last meeting.
On behalf of the Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches, I would like to invite all Neighbourhood Watch coordinators and members to attend the next meeting on Wednesday 8th September at 7.30pm at the Wood Green Civic Centre. It is a great way to meet and share ideas with other Neighbourhood Watch coordinators, and also put your questions to senior police officers. You are most welcome to bring along members of your Watch.
Georgia Forde, the senior enforcement officer for Haringey Trading Standards will be speaking about rogue traders / doorstep crime and you will also have the opportunity to meet and put questions to the new Safer Neighbourhoods Chief Inspector, Sonia Davis.
Ralph Crisp, the Chairman of the Association, sends his apologies and will not be at this meeting. Ralph was taken ill at the end of June and is slowly but surely making a recovery. We will still have a ‘Crisp’ family representative at the meeting as Jonathan, Ralph’s son, will be attending and taking minutes.
I look forward to seeing you on 8th September.
Yours sincerely
Pauline Syddell

QUARTERLY MEETING
Wednesday 10th February, 2010
CIVIC CENTRE, The Canteen, WOOD GREEN, N22.
at 7.30PM
Tuesday 24th November, 2009CIVIC CENTRE, WOOD GREEN, N22 at 7.30PM. Dear Co-ordinator,
Firstly, please accept my apology for the late delivery of this Agenda for the next meeting of the Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches on Wednesday 10th February, together with the
minutes of the last meeting, especially as I know that some of you were keen to receive the minutes as soon as possible. Unfortunately I had to abandon my desk to have an operation which involved a ten day stay in hospital. Good news is that, although I am still mending, it appears to have been very successful and I am looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our next meeting.
Secondly, I'd like to apologise for the fact that at the last meeting, which those of you present will recall was very busy, I omitted to pay a tribute to Eric Beck, who has stood down after six years as NW Co-ordinator for GMTRA, and has been a regular attender and contributor to our meetings.
In his letter informing us, Eric wrote "I have been very impressed by the expanding Neighbourhood Watches in Haringey and the mutual benefits to and from the SNTs with the consequent good relations and excellent policing in our ward."
I believe that this is a true reflection of the state of Neighbourhood Watch throughout Haringey, and as a result of the continued hard work of Pauline Syddell together with our SNTs, Neighbourhood Watch continues to expand, and now stands at a total of 254 Watches, an all time high!
So many thanks to Eric for his hard work and commitment and all best wishes for the future.
Also we had a record high attendance at the last meeting, with excellent speakers and lots of interesting questioning. In spite of the lateness off these notices, I hope we can sustain your interest for this coming meeting, when again we will have the Borough Commander, Ch. Supt. Dave Grant, giving us the lowdown on what is happening in Haringey and taking your questions, together with Det. Insp. Dan Smith from SCD2, presenting the work of the Sapphire Unit, which deals with sex crimes.
I will also ensure that there is sufficient time for you to raise questions about your neighbourhood watch issues with Insp. John Forde.
If you cannot attend and you wish to send or bring along additional members from your watch, they will be very welcome.
You will see that we have a much shorter agenda than previously to ensure there will be more time for you to raise issues and ask questions.
As always, feedback by way of suggestions for future topics and the conduct of the meetings, or any other useful criticism, is always welcome.
Yours sincerely,
Ralph Crisp,
Chair, Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches.
QUARTERLY MEETING
Tuesday 24th November, 2009
CIVIC CENTRE, WOOD GREEN, N22 at 7.30PM.
Dear Coordinator,
No doubt some or many will have seen last week's news about a blind woman's guide dog being savaged by a terrier-type dog at a railway station.
For more information go to
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8368548.stm
There have also been two other ‘status dog’ articles this month, which are of interest.
Please see
http://tinyurl.com/ygxsc9a
and also
http://tinyurl.com/ykc5fey
All this makes our speakers at tomorrow'’s Quarterly Meeting of the Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches particularly topical and pertinent, as many of you have expressed concerns about ‘status dogs’. (That must certainly be a misnomer as, in my view, they do not confer any status on the owners.)
Along with Sgt. Ian McParland, from the Met Police Status Dog Unit, there will also be present Ms Claire Robinson, RSPCA Government Relations Manager - she deals with dog related legislation in Parliament and their 'Status Dog' strategy. She is also the main author of the DEFRA 'Guidance for enforcers'.
Along with our Borough Commander, Ch Supt. Dave Grant, this should make for a very interesting meeting.
I hope to see as many of you there as possible but if you are unable to attend, then perhaps you could try to arrange for another member from your watch to come in your place, or with you if you are attending.
Yours sincerely,
Ralph Crisp,
Chair, Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches
Dear Co-ordinator,
Please find below, the
Agenda
for the next meeting of the Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches together with the minutes of the last meeting. If you wish to bring along additional member(s) from your watch, they will be very welcome.
You will see that we have a much shorter agenda than previously to ensure there will be more time for you to raise issues and ask questions.
We also have managed to arrange for Sgnt. Ian McParland from the Met’s Status Dog Unit to do a presentation on dangerous dogs, an issue that has become a matter of considerable concern to some of you.
Opportunities highlighted from the minutes of the last meeting.
- Supt. Dave Grant spoke passionately about how he considers his work to be the best job in the world, and stated that he is actively trying to recruit special constables. Age need not be a barrier as typical recruits range from late teens/early twenties to mid-forties. So if you or someone you know are looking for something extra in life and are interested, make contact with Pauline Syddell or myself and we can point you in the right direction.
- One of our other guest speakers, Linda Logan J.P. from Magistrates in the Community (the MAGIC Group) made an appeal for opportunities to present their work to other groups, so if you would like to learn more about their work they would be very pleased to speak at one of your watch meetings. To be put in touch, again please contact Pauline or myself.
Yours sincerely,
Ralph Crisp,
Chair, Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches.
P.S. Good news. Neighbourhood Watch is thriving in Haringey. Thanks to the hard work of Pauline Syddell and the SNTs, there are now 243 Watches across the borough!

Quarterly Meeting of the Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches
This was at 7.30pm on WEDNESDAY, 9th SEPTEMBER, 2009.
at the
Civic Centre,
High Road,
Wood Green, N22 8LE.
This meeting was for all Haringey Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators.
Minutes of this meeting.
More time was dedicated to OPENSPACE – Haringey’s Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators Forum (including SNT & NHW updates & Sector Report, with Insp. JOHN FORDE). This was your opportunity to ask questions and learn more about Neighbourhood Watch.
Dear Co-ordinator,
Firstly
please accept my apology for the length of this message but I do hope that you
will take the time to read it, especially the last paragraph.
Please find
the Agenda for the September 2009 meeting of the Haringey Association of
Neighbourhood Watches. The minutes of the June AGM is also below
‘Past on Your Doorstep, Future in Your Hands’, (1.92MB) a document produced by Groundwork and mentioned by Judy Hallgarten at the last meeting – well worth taking a look at.
- Swine Flu update August 2009 from Cllr Nilgun
Canver.
The June meeting
was very well attended and by all accounts was considered to have been very
successful. North Bank was an excellent venue but an awkward location to get to.
However, I am very pleased to be able to report that, in spite of the location,
we had many new co-ordinators attending for the first time, particularly from
the east of the borough and hopefully they felt that it was a rewarding
evening.
The main focus of the meeting was on young people. (Ch. Insp.
Dave Mann stated that the term ‘young people’ is preferable, to the word
‘youths’ which now has very negative associations.) The main criticism of the
meeting was that we had too many speakers for the available time and not enough
time was available for a general open discussion regarding Neighbourhood Watch
issues.
Feedback by way of suggestions for future topics and the conduct
of the meetings, or any other useful criticism, is always welcome.
So for
this next meeting there will be fewer speakers and agenda items and more
talk-time for co-ordinators. Also the meeting is being held more centrally, at
the Civic Centre, Wood Green.
- We have been very fortunate in that the Borough Commander, Ch Supt Dave Grant has been a regular speaker at our meetings and is always happy to take questions. He attended again on 9th September.
- The other main speakers were Kevin Fitzpatrick JP, Chairman, Haringey Magistrates in the Community Group, who together with colleagues Linda Logan JP & Sheila Smith JP talked about their work and presented a sentencing exercise.
- We also had a short presentation from Ch. Insp. Jon Williams on the ‘Policing Pledge’.
- OPENSPACE - Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators Forum (including SNT & NHW updates & Sector Report, with Insp. JOHN FORDE).
These
meetings are an ideal opportunity to meet other co-ordinators, to learn more
about Neighbourhood Watch and what is going on in Haringey.
FINALLY, Please note AOB in the minutes.
HARINGEY ASSOCIATION OF NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCHES
NOTICE OF MEETING & AGM.
This was at 7.30pm Tuesday, 23rd June, North Bank (Oak Room), Pages Lane, Muswell Hill, N10 1PP.
Minutes of this meeting.
Please find the agenda for the next meeting of the Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches, together with the minutes of the last meeting.
THE HARINGEY ASSOCIATION OF NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCHES
QUARTERLY MEETING Wednesday 11th March 2009 THE CIVIC CENTRE, HIGH ROAD, N22 at 7.30PM
You will see that we have a very full agenda and the theme will generally be focusing on youth issues and information about some of the work that has been done with young people in Haringey.
Due to the unavailability of either of our usual locations, this meeting will be held in the Oak Room at North Bank, Pages Lane, Muswell Hill, N10 1PP, (attached to Muswell Hill Methodist Church and adjacent to Colney Hatch Lane). It is recognised that this location is not quite so convenient for co-ordinators in the east of the Borough but nevertheless it is hoped that you will not be deterred from attending what should be a very interesting meeting.
As always there will be plenty of opportunity to raise questions, especially queries around Neighbourhood Watch, Policing and youth issues.
Finally you will note from the Agenda that it is that time of year to elect the Officers of the Association: Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer & Secretary.
Unfortunately our long standing treasurer, Terry Husband is standing down due to prolonged stays out of London and the vice-chair, Richard Gardner, has also stood down. The current Chair, Ralph Crisp, is standing for re-election.
Nominations for officers, and suggestions for items to be included on future Agendas, should normally be channeled through the Secretary. As this post is not currently filled, please contact either the Chair, Ralph Crisp, (ralphcrisp@btinternet.com) or send suggestions and nominations to Pauline Syddell at the Neighbourhood Watch Office.
I look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible but if you are unable to attend, why not invite another member or two from your watch, to attend on your behalf?
Ralph Crisp.
Chair, Haringey Association of Neighbourhood Watches
